Lift Rods vs. IIDTool for Custom Ride Height: Pros and Cons?

Howdy everyone,
I've been pondering the differences between installing lift rods and using the IIDTool to set a custom ride height. To my understanding, both methods achieve the same goal: one through hardware, the other through software.
The IIDTool seems like the more versatile option, allowing adjustments as needed. However, I'm curious if there are any potential downsides to using the IIDTool that I might be overlooking.
Any insights or experiences you can share would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks, JPS

In your shoes I'd order a cheap set of rods and see if you need them and how much trouble they are to install (very little) and then weigh that experience against the cost of the programmer.

GAP provides a lift/lower for minutes or months on demand. Activate it on the fly. It does what a LLAMS kit does without the expense and install.
A rod gives you 1 predetermined lift. GAP gives you a variety of customizable ones that you can change whenever you feel like it.
Ride around stock all day, hit the trails and add a 1" lift, encounter an obstacle, activate super extended height, then back down to regain travel. On the way home, revert to stock. "Oh no. My rack is loaded with skis and I cant fit in my garage". No problem. Drop down to ride the bumpstops and sneak on in.
It's win win.
Add all the other benefits GAP gives you and it's a no brainer.
If you camp you can also use it to level each corner of vehicle. Handy for RTT users.
